Little Package of Passion ATC by Jeanie Sunderman

Jeanie is a wiz at using and making collage art look easy and good. Would you believe that the background is stamped and not a beautiful paper she bought? She started by choosing a sepia toned cardstock and cut it down to 2.5 by 3.5″. She then stamped Prickley Pear’s Clock Face and Bingo Card Stamp onto the surface with black ink and at a diagonal.

The flower on the card started off a as a white silk flower. She used her copic marker and colored the petal tips of the flower and then sprayed with rubbing alcohol. As the flower drys the alcohol makes the ink bleed giving the flowers a soft blended color. Trust us when we say it is super fun and easy to do.

Jeanie then stamped a face from the Faces stamp set onto white shrink plastic. She then colored in the eyes green and lips pink with her copic markers. Once shrunk and cooled, she placed a rhinestone for a tear and adhereed to the center of the flower. This is such a beautiful and fun little project, we just had to share!

Here is another stunning example of turning those plain silk flowers turned into beautiful flowers that can you can have color coordinate with any project you are working on.

Little Book of Treasures by Angie Pearl

Armed with her stamps, Bind it All, old deck of cards and a bit of imagination, Ange created this darling little book that celebrates love, friendship and her family. She sanded, stamped and distressed each card until she came up with a look that was quite unique. She stuck with the main colors of the playing cards to create a cohesive design.

Copic Coloring tutorial

Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps is one of the sponsors for the Copic Certification Classes taught by Sally Lynn MacDonald, who is also a member of our design team.  One of Sally Lynn’s favorite images to work with when teaching overall coloring techniques to her students, in either the immensely popular Copic 101 or the all-day Copic Certification class, is the GG0033 Tree Frog.

Here, she has made up a display board for store owners to utilize with their Copic Marker displays, and in their own class handouts.

Watch our Tree Frog go from flat to fab in 5 easy steps!

We just LOVE the way she added googley eyes to this kitty. This is a great card idea for that special someone.

Another Great Sample from Vicki Parson

Vicki really did a bang up job with this card.

She stamped the hearts, cut them then colored with copic markers. She then layered on purple mat frames and layered to the beautiful textured surface shown. Added a bit of ribbon and pearls for the perfect finishing touch. Way to go Vicki!

Another Beautiful sample from Jennifer

Here is just another stunning sample from Jennifer Greco. She chose blues and greens for this lovely country church scene, and WOW, what a fantastic job she did.

New Samples from Jennifer Greco – DT Member

What a great fathers day card this would make. Jennifer pulled the colors from her cardstocks to color “Moby” as I like to call him. She then added embellishments and ribbon to finish the card off. And, what a great way to coordinate papers! Beautiful job.
